UT Athletes to Distribute Gifts to Schoolchildren

The Student Athletic Advisory Committee (SAAC) of The University of
Tampa’s athletics program plans to distribute Christmas gifts Friday to
children at Just Elementary School in Tampa.

The gifts were
purchased for the preschool through 5th-grade classes. Student athletes
and coaches donated all funds for the gifts. Refreshments will also be
provided to the children, courtesy of McDonald’s. The event involves
members of each of UT’s 14 varsity athletic teams.

“We are
really excited to work with Just Elementary School,” said SAAC President
Jeremy Black. “This gives us an opportunity to give back to the
community and provide a positive moment for these children.”
